A BRIGHT PLAYOFF FUTURE AHEAD FOR THE TITANS REPORTING LIVE FROM FOUNDATION FIELD LAUREN MICHELSON KETV NEWSWATCH SEVEN SPORTS. THANK YOU LAUREN. ALL RIGHT LET’S TALK WEST SIDE. THERE WILL LIKELY BE THE TOP SEED IN CLASS A WITH AN EIGHT ONE RECORD. WARRIORS THOUGH COULD BEAT UP WITH MILLARD SOUTH IN THE STATE SEMIFINALS. PATRIOTS COULD WIND UP AS THE FOURTH SEED. REMEMBER, THE MILLARD SOUTH TEAM HAD TO FORFEIT ITS OPENING WIN IN NEVADA AFTER SELF-REPORTING AN NSA VIOLATION. SO IT’S WIN AND YOU’RE IN FOR OMAHA, WESTVIEW AND MILLARD WEST DISTRICT A SIX TITLE. SECOND QUARTER WILDCATS LEAD BY 14. AARON KALALA, 14 SEVEN. MILLARD WEST AT THE HALF. THIRD QUARTER. IT’S A QUARTERBACK SNEAK. TIES THE GAME FOR WESTVIEW. BUT IN THE FOURTH, WILDCATS PULL OUT ALL THE STOPS. CHECK OUT THE. RAZZLE DAZZLE. O THE DOUBLE REVERSE PASS. LOGAN CRACKED IN THE END. WILDCATS WIN. DISTRICTS ARE GOING TO THE PLAYOFFS. ALL RIGHT, CREIGHTON PREP NORFOLK WILL START IN THE SECOND HALF. PREP QUARTERBACK BEN LESLIE CONNECTS WITH FULLBACK COLIN CORRIGAN, TEN YARDS AND THE TOUCHDOWN. JUNIOR JAYS EXTEND THE LEAD, 2113. EARLY FOURTH QUARTER. NOW RUNNING BACK ANGELO WALKER, WHO WALKS IT IN FROM SIX YARDS. JUNIOR JAYS UP 15 AT THAT POINT. JAYS GO ON TO WIN 3513. OMAHA CENTRAL SAYS TRICK OR TREAT SMELL DEFEAT. CENTRAL EAGLES CAN’T BE BEAT. EAGLES NEED TO WIN AGAINST FREMONT TO GET INTO THE PLAYOFFS AND THEY DO JUST THAT. YASSIR GRIGSBY TO TORREY PITTMAN, THE THIRD FOR THE TOUCHDOWN FOR CENTRAL. THEN WATCH GRIGSBY THE QUARTERBACK. THIS KID IS A SOFTBALL. LOOK AT HOW MANY TACKLES HE HE AVOIDS. BREAKS SOME ANKLES FIVE DIFFERENT DEFENDERS OR SO. HAD A CHANCE ON HIM. GRIGSBY SCORES. CENTRAL WINS 27 SEVEN. OTHER SCORES IN CLASS A LINCOLN EAST BEATS LINCOLN SOUTHEAST, SO THE SPARTANS GET INTO THE POSTSEASON. NORTHSTAR DOES AS WELL AS THEY BEAT BELLEVUE EAST WELL. ELKHORN NORTH HEAD COACH SAM STANLEY RETURNED TO HIS TEAM FOR THE FIRST TIME LAST NIGHT IN A MONTH AND A HALF. ONE OF HIS TWIN BOYS, GRANT, JUST 11 MONTHS OLD, PASSED AWAY LAST WEEKEND.

RALSTON HAS A CHANCE TO GET INTO THE POSTSEASON AS WELL. 2321 RALSTON WIN. PLATTSMOUTH GIVES IT TO THE UPBACK JACKSON EBY THE TOUCHDOWN BLUE DEVILS!
